Navigating a career change is overwhelming without a strategy and process.
If you don’t have a coach:
You pursue positions that don’t align with your goals.
You spend time applying for jobs you don’t really want.
Your progress stalls, you get ghosted, and you can’t pinpoint why.
And that leads to a frustrating lack of direction, confidence, and momentum.
We don’t want that for you.
Shannon Parris Consulting coaches nonprofit professionals as they navigate career changes and job transitions, helping them find fulfilling roles that align with their skills, interests, and values.
We can help you land your dream job, too.
Most job seekers know they want to leave their current roles but don’t know what to seek out instead.
At Shannon Parris Consulting, we understand that navigating a career change requires more than just ambition. It requires a clear strategy and supportive guidance to make confident decisions and achieve your career goals. In order to do that, you need to change your approach.
The problem is that you’ve learned one way of conducting a job search, and it feels like wandering alone in the dark.
We believe that every career transition is an opportunity for growth and transformation.
We understand that it’s hard to strive for growth when you just want to move on from your current situation, which is why we offer personalized career coaching that goes beyond traditional methods.
Our approach is rooted in understanding your unique strengths, aspirations, and challenges. By providing tailored strategies and actionable steps, we empower you to navigate your career change with clarity and purpose.
Searching for a new job is overwhelming. You shouldn’t have to do it alone. You need a coach.
“Shannon offered much needed advice that helped boost my confidence and made me look at my job search in a new way. She provided the kind of direct and constructive feedback every professional deserves, which I had not received elsewhere in my career or when working with other coaches.”
